PCU 5000 X weight savings
 
I'm about to commit to a prop governor and am trying to determine the weight savings enjoyed by the PCU 5000X compared with the alternatives: MT or Macauley.

I've established that the PSU 5000X weighs in at 2.2 lbs and is more compact but cannot determine the weight of the others

I've had both the MT P420 and the PCU 5000 on my RV8. Can't tell a difference in weight. Its probably much less than a pound. Insignificant IMHO...

Thanks Guy's
just goes to show that you can't always believe a sales pitch.

Who would have thought?
